The rotting carcass of a whale which yesterday washed up on Newcastle's Bar Beach will be buried in the sand today. There have been calls to tow the whale out to sea, due to concerns that burying it could attract sharks to the beach. But, Newcastle City Council's Deb Alterator says that's a myth, and the council will take the same action it took four years ago, when a whale washed up at Dixon Park beach.
